Yeah, I know, I feel the same for the most part, but I'm definitely itching for some more DJMax, I have hundreds of hours on the PSP games, and there isn't really anything else like it. Guess I'll have to pass though and keep consuming my PSP haha why did they have to make it always online, makes me sad

That sounds like good practice, thanks!
Thanks for the reply!
player speed
Tried that already, since GAMMA allows to modify it straight from the mod menu, but I can't go too low with character movespeed otherwise it feels very unnatural.
steam discussion
Thanks, even though that's for SoC and CS I also agree that it should be very similar for Anomaly as well. I'll check that out later, hopefully nothing breaks haha
Sorry for late reply, app kept saying "this account is being verified" and I coulnd't comment or anything else.
Anyways, I kept them. One drive loss won't be catastrophic (got two mirrored and also spare backup), so I decided to go for it!
Sorry for late reply, app kept saying "this account os being verified" and I coulnd't comment or anything else.
In the end I decided to keep them, considering the store provides warranty! Loving the gigantic storage amount I have now haha

Anyway, yes, the store I bought them from is a legit store and provides warranty, so I decided to keep the drives!
That's fair, I paid three times as much though so I do care a bit more haha
Actually, I found something: "DOM: 07JUN2022". I guess that's "Date of Manufacturing"?
I was a bit off, they were 15% cheaper than the Ironwolf on the same website/from same seller (156, not USD, vs 179, not USD).
For a better comparison, I went to WD's official store and for what I spent on these two 8TB Exos (312, not USD) I can get two 4TB Red Plus (310, not USD). Can't make a direct comparison with other Seagates because their "buy now" section redirects me to Amazon, which, as you said, is not the best since they allowed third party sellers, but on there the 8TB Ironwolf is 250 (!!).
As you already know, I'm not in the US so I can't buy from there. Unfortunately, Seagate's "buy now" section (which should be official retailers) brings me to either Amazon or other chains that don't have much else besides portable drives.
At this point I have two options, really: try again the same online store (which is kinda like Amazon, many third party sellers), but getting Ironwolf, which should be more likely to be "legit", and of course check them as well when they arrive, or settle for two 4TB WD Red Plus (which isn't ideal as I'm already nearing 2.5TB total, but should allow me to get by a while longer) bought directly from WD.
edit: looking at the link you provided, I paid 30% less for my Exos. Would that sway you towards keeping it without warranty (apart from the seller's, which is one year I think)? Mind that I don't need enterprise-grade drives, and I think even NAS drives are overkill for my needs. For example a WD Blue with its 55TBW per year might be enough for me (that's 150GB a day everyday for a year, which is above my average writes), ~~but those don't come big enough (I need 6TB min to be comfortable)~~ nevermind, they do come in 8TB size, just at a lower spinning speed (5640rpm), but they cost more (267) than the Ironwolf, and are SMR and have 128MB cache. Sounds like a bad deal!
No I don't, ~~I wrote it in the OP haha~~ unless there's a way to know it by looking up the S/N. Have to check.
How can you be so sure they're older? They were sold to me as new and they did come in the usual sealed plastic wrap.
Anyway I don't think saving some money is worth more than a full warranty, so I'm basically set on returning them and get something else
Agree, I stopped buying Sony games because of that
About RAM, Trident Z5 NEO @ 6000Mhz seems to be the best price/performance ratio.
About GPU, I'd personally go for a Sapphire as they're one of the historic AIB for AMD GPUs and I also dig a lot the design of the Nitro+ lol
See if you can save something on the MoBo (by getting a lower trim) and 2x2TB might be a bit overkill for gaming only (ofc it depends on your habits, but I personally don't have games installed for more than 500-600GB). Also, you picked two PCIe 4.0 NVMEs, so maybe consider a 970 Evo Plus if it's cheaper than the 980 Pro
About cooler, I'd prefer an old fashioned air cooler simply because it can't leak lol
